MAINTENANCE OF YOUR FENCE
 |
1. To keep your fence looking its best, simply hose your fence down periodically with water when washing the car or watering the garden. A soft broom should be sufficient to remove any cobwebs. |
|
 |
2. Do not build up soil or garden fill against the bottom rail of your fence as this will retain water and lead to corrosion. Do not use your fence as a retaining wall, as it is not designed for this purpose. |

3. Avoid spraying the fence with garden sprays or fertilisers as these can damage the surface. If this occurs wash the fence down with water. |
Adequate drainage is needed to ensure that water does not pond in the bottom rail and to assist in the removal of debris. This is often achieved by pre-punched holes in the bottom rail, or by designing the posts such as there is a clearance between the ends of the bottom rail and posts.
